Engine Bay Cleaned!
 
Hey guys just wanted to show my engine bay. I just cleaned it today. First time since I got the car from the dealership 2 yrs. ago :) Its a big difference compared when it was all dusty and dirty.

All stock and no mods in the engine dept. so don't be hatin' :rofl:

Let me know what you think :tup:

Thanks man! :)
I used dishwashing soap (Palmolive), a sponge, plastic bags (to cover alternator and other stuff), a garden hose and lastly Meguiar's Vinyl & Plastic conditioner/cleaner.

Make sure your engine is cool before cleaning and after you're done you gotta turn on the engine to warm it up and let the remaining wet spots evaporate faster.

Thank you. I heard that Orange degreaser or Simple Green works as well but mine doesn't have much grease. Its basically just dust and dirt. Next time maybe I'll try a degreaser and compare the difference.

kirks04ex 06-19-2006 11:00 AM

what do you cover with plastic bags...if i tried that i think i would end up missing something. did you then spray water directly on the eingine?

GeminiZ 06-19-2006 04:16 PM

does it really matter if you get everything wet.. cause at this local car wassh over here they have a feature for a high pressure hose wash for the engine bay with soap and i dont think they tell u to cover anything

i got the same thing. i bought that package for the paint not knowing that the package also included the under coating. now i have a dirty engine bay and i don't even need under coating because i don't drive the car in the winter

Thats not the smartest thing to do then lol

hmm its okay, but i see alot of dull metal around :)

Pitch_BlacK 06-19-2006 11:46 PM

Thank you guys for all the comments :)

Well basically we covered the alternator and a few wires. I can't remember which wires anymore :o Make sure you use a hose nozzle then choose shower so you won't have too much water pressure. :tup:
